Symantec.Norton.UPX.File.Heap.Overflow

description-logoDescription

This indicates a possible exploit of a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Symantec AntiVirus Library.
The DEC2EXE module of Symantec AntiVirus Library is used to parse UPX (Ultimate Packer for eXecutables) files. By creating a specially crafted UPX file and sending it to an affected system in an email or over other common protocols, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system when the malicious UPX file is parsed.
